Mdhamiri á Nkemi https://www.mdhamiri.com/ Despite the fantastical body-swapping element in its narrative, original skin resonates with audiences through the universal experience of self-discovery. Everyone reaches a point in life where they must take a hard look at who they want to become and choose their path forward. Nkemi places this introspective journey within an extreme scenario, but sometimes it's this kind of bold approach that can spark meaningful reflection in an audience. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2024/08/26/original-skin/ CREDITS starring Sorcha Groundsell and Olive Gray funded by BBC FILM and the NFTS Head of BBC Film - Eva Yates director - Mdhamiri á Nkemi screenplay - Eve Hedderwick Turner producer - Sabina Smitham co-producer - Lennard Ortmann EPs - Dionne Farrell, Sammy Wong, Venetia Hawkes, Jon Wardle casting - Gemma Sykes dp - Adam Singodia pd - Luke Moran Morris music - Seymour Milton editor - Amber Saunders sound - Adam Woodhams costume - Charlotte VDH Richardson hair & makeup - Annie Little 1st ad - Zhannat Alshanova intimacy coordinator - Jenefer Odell script supervisor - Emily Fallow colourist - Jason Colourist @electric.theatre.collective vfx - Zdravko ‘Zee’ Stoitchkov poster - Jeremy Cole Reproduced on this channel with the permission of the filmmakers.
